eh I'm a huge critic of Science™! but science - warts and all - is far far better than natural philosophy natural philosophy taught us that things made of fire atoms tend to rise to their natural place in the heavens science explains refractive indices & gives us fiber optics https://t.co/rf4pBqwM3M
it's not FULLY accurate, in that there were OTHER THINGS binned in natural philosophy - I agree but it's accurate enough in that natural philosophy did include what I referenced

True, but I guess I take issue with presenting "natural philosophy" as basically coterminous with medieval aristotelianism. The history of the term is much more complicated than that.
